It’s been popular among the Steam Deck emulation scene because of it’s performance for most titles running better on the hardware compared to Ryujinx/Forks (Although because of those orange flags you mentioned it now makes sense when I found out EmuDeck refuses to provide support or streamlined installation in their menus).
Hopefully the ship is above board, but right now we’re able to reap the performance benefits as users - although I’ll probably stick to Ryujinx on my proper desktop PC.

I guess I wonder how much of that is just that… yuzu was REAL fucking good and this is Yuzu (if you check the source since their website doesn’t seem to acknowledge that?).
From a skimming of the code (if they aren’t going to do proper code review, why would I?), the main deltas seem to be related to CI/CD, branding, package updates, and MAYBE improved controls/interfaces more geared towards the android client.
And, to be clear, I think there is a lot of value in maintenance. But when you have to dig relatively deep to even see this is a fork and they already have donation links plastered everywhere?
Yeah… I would be a bit more concerned over making sure this is “above board” as it were.

I assume they don’t mention that it’s a yuzu fork in order to not poke the bear (nintendo).

Which… is honestly really shit to the actual yuzu devs who put the work in. And it isn’t like Nintendo is going to say “Wow, that really good emulator might not be the one we had taken down. Let’s actively not look and instead cry into our money”. If they want it down, they’ll look for a reason. And then REALLY quickly see it is the same codebase they had removed already.
